Résumé
American participation in World Fairs in the second half of the XIXth century reflects the growing interest of this nation for foreign trade and peaceful relations with foreign countries. In 1900, their performance at the Paris International Exhibition was better and more impressive than ever before. Their Pavillion on the Quai d'Orsay was a « home » for Americans visiting Paris and the « Expo ». They had exhibits and received awards in all groups but one. Yet, the French did not really perceive the gigantic progress and rising economic power of the United States.
